Government taking over the means of production? There's a name for that isn't there?

Obviously by its very nature the Secret Service is, well, not exactly shouting from the rooftops about its workload. But I was under the impression (though I can't remember where I heard or read it) that the presidential protection detail have been "busier" than ever before during Obama's presidency. I suspect they'll be busier yet if/when the Trump groupies are cut loose when he packs up his election rhetoric and goes home.

Re: Trump & Apple, didn't he also make threats at Ford for building a factory in Mexico before he was the nominee?

Anyway my point is that she made a stupid mistake at a time when her campaign isn't going that well at all. Hopefully with Obama's upcoming support she will manage to regain the lead and avoid future Trump-isms
The polls. All of them.

Clinton's only mistake was to say she regretted what she said, rather she should have just pointed to the facts.

Absolutely. She owed no apology.

No matter which one wins, the people will never love either one of them the way they love Obama.
